Children are always full of curiosity and wonder. Each day is an opportunity for them to learn something new. At our house, this is definitely the case, since I'm always incorporating plenty of educational experiences into my son's day to day events. Kids are like sponges, they just soak all of that fun knowledge up! Recently, we've been watching a cartoon called The Day Henry Met...? It's about an inquisitive little boy who's always learning something new with the help of the friends he meets along the way.

In the world we live in today, there may be times when we come face to face with opposition against our Christian beliefs. There are hot topics that are often in debate, like for instance, whether God created the universe or if there was a big bang. I personally know what I believe is true, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be equipped with explanations as to why. Apologetics is an extremely important subject that all Christians should study at some point. Not only is it helpful when the time comes to defend your own faith, but it can also help solidify any personal feelings or doubts you may have.

I'm definitely a sentimental person, especially when it comes to parenting. You know the type that gets overly emotional about even the littlest things like a first haircut or growing out of those cute pair of loafers? Yeah, that's pretty much me! Kids grow up so fast–it's like time is zooming by at a rapid pace, you almost don't want to blink. Perhaps that's why I can relate to Nicole Nordeman's song, Slow Down, so well. I recently talked about this song a few weeks ago when I was sharing her latest album. When I saw that she was also releasing a book inspired by her hit song, I knew that I had to be one of the first in line to grab a copy.

The Beginner's Bible collection is just one the many children's ministry series that we really enjoy reading in our home. What I really like about this particular one is that they not only offer amazing books and Bibles for children to read, but their website also contains plenty of free learning resources and activities for children to print off. I was especially excited to hear about the new release of The Beginner's Bible Deluxe Edition.

I love reading books that help my son develop a personal connection with Jesus. Sometimes our much younger kids need a special way to help them understand who He really is. Our latest read by Doris Rikkers, Little Jesus, Little Me, is a precious board book that shows young children how Jesus was once a small child, just like them.
